What a Fontana borrower is actually offered

A Fontana personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 215,465 residents. Two numbers drive a Fontana loan: the APR, which includes fees, and the term, which decides how long you keep paying. Shortening the term on a Fontana loan raises the monthly payment but cuts the interest; lengthening it does the reverse.
